Intentionally breaking the fast in without a valid excuse is a major sin. It is permissible to break the fast for confronting enemies. The one who breaks the fast must make up the days he missed. If a person breaks their fast under compulsion, there is no sin upon them; however, whether their fast is invalidated or not is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and making up the fast is more cautious. Whoever breaks their fast without a valid excuse must repent, seek forgiveness, and make up what they missed. Expiation is not required except for breaking the fast through intercourse.
